Coaches we have heard about the things from parents and players/students. What is the dumbest thing you have heard from a fellow coach?

I had a really uncooperative assistant once say "I don't like that play" in front of the kids.
Same assistant once got into an argument with me in front of the QB/Rec when I said the #2 receiver has an out and he said something else. So he sent the manager to get the playbook from his car. Sure enough I was right.

"I'm not coaching under a effing foreigner" Well, he ended up being right so I don't know if it counts as stupid

Block someone! Or this is me, even though I try not to say it, but "Come on!"
Once as a head sophomore coach we were getting to play a team and they had a 6'5" WR/DE who would later become a all-pro DE. Why he wasn't playing varsity, I'll never know. I was saying we needed to try to not run right at him as I thought he was pretty good. One of the guys I coached with said, "No way. He's not that good. We can run right at him all day." Needless to say he destroyed our 5-10" 180 lbs tackle all game.

dumbest thing I said was "ya'll get out of there"
basketball tournament out of town (thank goodness) we had a head basketball who likes to pull our players out whenever we were shooting free throws, his rationale was that we weren't likely to get the rebound on a miss anyway and we didn't want to get beat on a fast break after a miss........so I'm the JV dude and I don't know much but I want to look cool so I do it to...only at this particular tournament it was the other team that was shooting free throws, my dumb ass says "ya'll get out of there" and removed my own rebounders, the kid from the other school looked at me like I was an idiot then blasted the ball off the backboard, got his own rebound, walked up and laid the ball in.......tough one

The Adventures of Coach Potato:
I didn't hear this but I SAW this with my own eyes. One of the coaches (Coach Potato) would drive one of the John Deere gators onto the field (he was/is pretty lazy) and would sometimes drive behind a student from time to time to scare them. He would sometimes chase kids for fun and in this scenario, he got right behind this one particular kid who wasn't taking any poop from Coach Potato. Kid wouldn't move. Coach Potato tells the kid to move and gets super close to him and slams the brake. He presses down the gas and then brakes, gas then brake, etc (You get the picture). Well, he winds up bumping the kid pretty good with the gator and the kid give him the "EAT CRAP AND DIE" look (which is better than how I would of handled it) and just walks away.
I thought to myself "WHAT THE HECK!? He just went full potato and hit a kid! We're about to get in trouble because of him."
Sure enough, the kid had called mom in the bathroom, mom drives up to the school, and all the coaches got called in. Coach Potato had no idea (yes, he really did not have a clue) about why we have this meeting. I wanted to ask him if he was an idiot, but I already knew the answer to that rhetorical question. Our AP explains what happened and Coach Potato fessed up. All the other coaches get released and he had a meeting with the parent & the AP (BTW the parent is an awesome parent who I've never had any issues with). Don't know how he did it, but one of the most awesome moms turns into angry savage beast and lets him have it. Don't know all the details, but it seemed like mom just wanted to rip him a new butthole and then leave.
Long story short: We are no longer allowed to use the gator (unless for emergency purposes) thanks to Coach Potato.

Story time!
Our high school coach would make us help with the youth team a couple of times during the season which was about 45 mins after the varsity practices would finish. No big deal, right? So I was offering my services to the community and I kid you not, two of the Youth team "coaches" were getting into a legit argument over the numbering techniques for the DL (The youth HC and one of the youth assistants). They were arguing the difference between a 1 technique and a 2i technique and what it should be called when you line up on the inside shoulder of the guard.
This lasted for a solid 10 minutes...this same team also finished 0-8 that season and you could tell why. I just took the kids and ran some tackling circuits with them while the two guys were STILL fighting it out. It was a very successful day.

I sometimes jokingly ask coaches, who have turf fields, how they keep the grass so green. You would be surprised how many coaches think I'm being serious. Are we all thought of as a bunch of meathead jocks? Lol, I digress.

I've heard some dumb things but mostly from new and young coaches, and I wasn't much different at that age so I can't mention them legitimately.
This guy, however, is actually older and more "experienced" than me:
We had an OC who thought he should've been the DC and every Friday upstairs he would let me know. There was one game at the end of the season where he explained that we should've been in a 50 cover 3 against a certain team and drew it up. I countered by drawing up the fact we were in a 4-2-5, 3 robber with the Sam in a 9. It was literally the same exact defense, the only difference being the title of the positions guys were in. Same jobs, same alignment, etc. He said it was stupid that we put an end inside the tight end, as opposed to a "tackle" because the end was going to get crushed. LOL the biggest guy we had on that team might have been 225 lbs soaking wet. Sorry a-hole, I'll go talk to the GM and see if we can draft a war daddy defensive tackle.
The playoff game that year was against a team that ran power read. He couldn't grasp the concept that the pulling guard was looping to the backer; he insisted that guard was supposed to kick out the end, he just kept messing up. Of course Friday rolls around and he's got a billion and a half ideas on how to play it, and then when I tried to explain why it's flawed because that guard is not supposed to kick out the end, he said "well that's not a real play or concept. We better bash these guys because they're running a fake offense"

This probably goes under D-Bag coaches...
I had a guy that worked for me one year, young guy who was our "roving Sub" on campus. so I thought hey great, a guy on campus...
Never said anything. But he would throw a football at the kids head (they were wearing helmets) who he felt wasn't paying attention.
Usually during team periods when the kids that didn't play much were not getting many reps, after 2-3 weeks I had to ask him to stop, it was getting annoying...

When he drew the defense, an assistant tried to correct him that he had somebody misplaced, a Sam, Will, Strong safety, I'm not quite sure. Spike Dykes responded to the assistant "it's just a f---ing letter, are certain letters unf---ing blockable"

2 years ago, we had a kid who was definitely moderately disabled, and spent about half of his day in a transition classroom for kids who weren't fully mentally handicapped, but needed that environment. Good kid, funny kid. Parents just needed him to be in something, so he was with us. Just about every kid knew not to go full contact with him, all of that stuff.
We were going through some of our punt return stuff, and he was struggling to get it. It was me, the HC, and Dummy with returnees.
The kid bounced the 5th ball off his chest, and Dummy decides that now is a good time to yell at him. "Good God, son! Are you retarded or something?"
You could have heard a pin drop. Every kid within 30 yards heard it, froze in their tracks and just turned to him, in horror. The kid didn't say anything, but you could tell he was hurt.
The HC about lost his mind. Made sure to send the kids to get water, and then lit into him. "You've got to be f--king kidding me, right? I didn't just hear you say that, right? Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me you aren't that clueless. Tell me. For the love of God, tell me."
Dummy's response was simply "well, I figured if I said it to HIM then he'd know he was one of the group. (Extremely condescending) It's bonding, coach!"
HC told him to go home, come back tomorrow, and never say that again, or he'd be fired.

The first dumb thing that comes to mind for me comes from our middle school "strength coach" who basically just runs the workouts. He got put in charge of it simply because he is a big guy, you can tell he lifts frequently, and that's about it.
Well I have heard quite a few dumb things from him this year in the weight room, but the dumbest is probably when he told our kids while doing bench press. He said "go ahead and bounce that bar off of your chest and generate some momentum, you don't need to go super slow". I kind of looked around like what the hell did he just say? And I wondered if maybe he slipped up and meant something else, but he then made sure to tell each group that rotated through the same exact comments.

I ran into a "coach" (I used quotes, because this guy coached, but really didn't coach). I hadn't seen him in years.
I ask him how he's doing (just hoping he says "good" and the conversation ends)
He tells me he's been "doing some coaching online". I purposely don't continue the conversation to get him to stop and leave.
There is a long pause...
He then tells me he just found out the he fathered a kid some 30 years ago and just reconnected with her.
I'm wondering...do I have a huge sign on my head that says, "Go ahead and tell me everything about your life".
This guy is a tool bag.

This may also fall under the D-Bag category, but I coached with a guy who, when we played at his Alma Mater's stadium, decided to give a motivational pre-game speech. The quote was "This is MY field. I {censored}*d on this field." He's currently on the school board in a neighboring district. (Apparently our kids weren't motivated. We got killed)

Yeah, as well as I could. I didn't just go tell the kids "hey don't listen to coach XYZ" but I did let them know the proper form and let them know that they need to be able to control the weight going down, and also phrased it as "when you guys are in high school you can't just let it drop because you can get injured". They seemed to understand that pretty well. I also talked with him about it afterwards in private, and he was still adamant and amped up about it, so I just monitor a lot of the kids more closely and fix their form when I see something wrong.

It made me mad just type that out. I've never wanted to physically harm another coach more than I did at that point in time.

I think he was purposely trying to be argumentative because he felt he could do a better job. He just made himself sound very dumb trying to assert it.

The last head coach I worked for was like a bad sitcom character. He was literally the dumbest adult I have ever met. When I got there, the staff had a running list of all of the crazy things he had said. Some football related, some not. I thought it was kind of rude until being around him for a season. Here's a couple examples:
I show up the night before fall camp because I had moved from out of state. I get to practice things are a little unorganized but basically normal. At one point I look around and the head coach is gone. I ask another coach where he is at. They said he went home to let his dogs out. I don't believe them and think they are messing with the new guy. Head coach gets back. I say something along the lines of "Coach, did you have to get some paperwork or something done?" He said "No, had to let the dogs out. It's a pain but good thing I live close enough to do it." He did it every day my whole first year and someone brought it up in a staff meeting in the off-season and it changed.
One day we were on special teams and he watched our punter shank one. And he said "Guys if I would have been a kicker instead of a QB I would still be in the league." I asked if he was serious. He said "yes, of course." I said "so you chose to be a teacher instead of being in the NFL just so you could play high school QB." He said "Yeah, QB is the man." I asked him to punt or kick and he declined.
One day during pregame/kick script we get to victory formation and guys are a little sluggish coming out of the huddle. He freaks out and starts yelling "HURRY UP AND SNAP IT, HURRY UP AND SNAP IT." This one was probably an honest mistake but our OC was like "Coach we are trying run the clock out it's going to be okay."
Another day, this one is not football related, we were talking about teacher pay in Florida and he said "It has to be the 51st or 52nd worst state in terms of pay." I asked "how many states do you think there are?" And he immediately knew something was up, but he really didn't know the answer so he just goes "are you guys effing with me?...Puerto Rico is a state right...ummmm...dammit how many states are there?" He thought there were 51 or 52 states, literally.
I will say even though that football program was a mess the guy wasn't a bad dude. Someone had to hire him and that's where it really all went wrong. And to be fair he did make the playoffs in Florida one year.

We were running SBV one year and I was an assistant on the sophomore staff. The sophomore OC was gone one day and left the rest of practice in the hands of an obnoxious WR/DB coach. We were running an inside-run session and this guys calls "Right" (TE/flanker to the right, SE to the left) and OSV to the left. The QB comes over and asks if he meant to call ISV or "check with me" as we couldn't run OSV to the open side of the formation. The guy hollers at the kid and sends him back to run the play. I tried to talk to the guy but he just hollered "run the play!" The kid was smart so he called "Left" and ran OSV to the left. The assistant comes uncorked on the kid and is literally screaming at him. The varsity HC comes over, pulls the coach and QB and asks what the issue is. The dipchit assistant states that these "kids don't listen for CHIT!". The QB calmly explains the situation to him so he tells me to take over the session, pulls the other AC coach aside. The idiot AC actually starts arguing with the varsity HC about the call and gets booted from practice for the day..

Former HC talking about fresh/soph kids, "That kid will never amount to anything." Turns out he was wrong EVERY single time.
Old school assistant who hadn't coached football for years, "You have to be in a 50 to stop the run."

Had a coach that had spent the 1st 2 yrs at a new program helping out with varsity (he was a carry over from the last staff, local guy, loved by kids, ended up mainly being stat guy and get back coach. After yr 2 I had opportunity to ask him to move to middle school and hire a better coach in his place with the varsity. Head middle school guy was a 1st year teacher straight out of college and was new to area. Pre season went ok getting ready for first game. Got killed like 42 to 14 ... after the game (I wasnt able to go) I called the HC to see what happened. During Pregame warm ups the DC installed the Prowler defense... This was when it was just starting to be seen on TV some. He told the kids if he called it that they were to creep around presnap and then on the snap, go whereever and do what ever they wanted to. 1st play ... he called it ... they did just that.. and Offense ran FB dive for 70 yd td .... they scored everytime he called it ... finally HC told him not to call it again.
